[Note: I believe the indexer assumed she died in the location where she was buried. The database says "Deaths and Burials". The original document probably concerns her burial in Keyport NJ, not her death. See her obituary included with her burial information.]

THE REMAINS of Mrs. M. Wallace, who died last November in Grand Rapids, Mich., on April 1 arrived in Keyport, N.J., for final interment. The funeral services having been previously held at the time of her decease, there was simply a reading of the Episcopal services over her grave, the members of the family and a few private friends only being present. W. B. Henry and wife (nee Miss Nellie Wallace) arrived from San Francisco in time to attend, and S. B. Villa and wife (nee Miss Agnes Wallace) were also present. The floral offerings were of a chaste and beautiful design, and covered the entire casket and grave. These included a large basket of tuberoses, with violets forming the words "Our Mother," especially made for and presented by Frank P. Dobson and W B. Henry, a large basket and numerous bouquets from members of Mr. Dobson's family, and a broken column and flowers tastefully arranged by Mrs. Dr. Scott of New York.
